Hi lads .here is a little trick i was taught to raise beams .2 lenghts of 12mm x 400mm rebar.drill 14mm holes in wall at 600mm centers .then walk beam up wall.to required height.A 4 foot 6 inch 65 year old Italian bricklayer showed me this was 16 yrs old 40 yrs ago LOL best wishes chris

Real life construction work, imagine if this was a DIY programme on the tele, it would have seemed a doddle. You never know what you got until you open it up. Keep up the good work lads.

Look forward to it. It’s brilliant to see how you two have grown in confidence in speaking to camera and you can inspire people to come out off their comfort zone.

This perfectly shows why you must have thee right team. Get this wrong and the house falls down. By the way, SDS chisels seem to wedge themselves and absorb the impact. I found that chain drilling with a 25mm SDS was often faster than a chisel.

Wow Steve...what a hodge podge. Don't envy you there mate.........

That took some grit and determination.... Hats off to you fella.. 👏

Nice work fellas, buy the old man a genie hoist for Christmas

We all miss a spot sometimes, the crucial thing is getting the job done anyway. An awkward moment maybe but a pleasure to watch you solve it without too much fuss. Also props on reusing materials.

When i see you guys i remember when i started with my father like you and your sun. The best way to learn to be a good craftsman.

Steve i personally no how hard and stressful these jobs are not to mention hard graft .its a specialist job you need to no what you are doing nothing better than seeing an rsj in and done .its great honest video its real not like some stuff on you tube .Two nice lads father and son working to earn a living love your videos. Justin 👍 💯🧱🧱

Well done Steve and Al. Yeah hindsight a wonderful thing and we've all been there,, what a ball ache but got over it 👍👍👌

Another cracking job, lads, stay safe.(Take no notice of the keyboard junkies.)......

that was some job getting them beams in & no help at all --well done

Sterling work lads, don't let the clowns worry you!

Genie lift on the kitchen floor way safer.. but hey u got it done . If ur posting on here best always tick the H&S boxes 😉😉 enjoy the real element of ur graft not one of these promo goods hunting channels 👌👌

Wow what a job Steve and Alex well done for coming up with the solution to get you out that pickle 💪

Well done gents. You make a difficult job look easy… only the best work from you. 👏🏻👏🏻

When youtubers say we're in a pickle it's usually click bait, in your case you actually were. Really enjoy these videos, learn so much from the installation process.

Awesome video lads thanks for your time and consideration top job top team 🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍

Really not sure if I would have done that differently. "other eyes" are seeing this after the event. If I had done this, I am now sure I would have carried out in same manner. We have in the past taken out some of outer brick skin to slide second skin in.... BUT that needs more props and more bodies. Am quite sure after years of doing this that you made the right call. Well done. Have also had the experience of two houses side by side and neighbours deciding to "follow" next door only to find that the second was built entirely differently to first conversion!! Bob. (Somerset)

Had the same problem with a beam job a few weeks ago and had to punch a hole in the external Brickwork and slide it through the hole and get it in to place, 🙉 Very time consuming job, well done guys 💪

Don't be baited, Construction is all about working out Problems on the Fly, especially on renovation project's, part of been a bricky / training at collage, is understanding your structural Work's, Don't Lower yourself to keyboard Warrior's, explain your procedure's, All renovation work is man handling, it's a Killer, but it has to be done, Also your working a with apprentice, U have to also think for him, Every day is a school day in building, No too day's are the same, stay 💪, Enjoy your Well earned 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Well done for getting over the mistake with the first steel, we all make mistakes I just don't film mine 😂. Genie lift so much safer and easier £50 to hire round my way 👍

Well done guys the steels are always alkward but the A team have produced the goods in a difficult job well done Steve and Alex

Wow what a job real exciting stuff well done can’t wait for next episode you must be glad to get home away from all the mess.👍😎👍😎👍😎

Re genie lift if you use the fork extensions they make the levels don’t matter as the reach would cover inner & outer skins

hi chaps super hard n dangerous job finished but do warn alex to concentrate on the job not his phone it only takes a second for it to fall n someone is badly injured

Adapt and overcome well worked through ignore the haters.

The new demolition drill sounds very reassuring and seems manly. Let's see how long it can all that you throw at it :)

What a tough job! I love your dedication to doing things right. Great video!

That was a hard one to do Steve. Bet it was a relief to get them in. No matter how many times you do these jobs, it's always a bit scary till you get it all supported again lol. Good experience for Alex won't get them much harder to do than that one lol

Another great job by the boys Steve & Alex Really good video 😊

well done guys top class

We sometimes use a dolly trolley under either end of the steel to wheel it into position when it's practical 👍 not nice lifting those steels!

That "mistake" allowed you to put in a single wide padstone a stronger job.

You will have fun getting the steel tube spacers on the bolts between the 2 steels or do you not have to do that there ? To stop the steels pulling together when you tighten the nuts on the bolts. We have ours welded on one side, loads easier.

Great job lads you just never know what you are going to come across when you start tearing stuff down you just have to go with the plot and work it out as ye did well done looking forward to the next instalment keep up the good work 💪👷

Good problem solving Steve 👍

Great work fellas, certainly looks a tough job but nothing you can’t handle 👊 🧱 will look great when it’s finished

Another great video boys, great to see you overcame a big problem there. Sometimes you just have to stop, take stock and think a way round and that's exactly what you did. That was a real toughie, you deserved that cuddle at the end Steve!!!😂

Really excellent video lads. Loving this series. 👍🏻

You worked hard for that one fellas, real world situations!

great job lads but how do you fit the spacers and bolts when using I beams?

That Titan drill is a great piece of kit for the money.

Great job lads looks tricky job keep you busy good few days 👍👍

WoW - another edge of my seat video by you 2. There would be those out there that would harp on about OH + S - however your methods are proven over time and not from a text book and indeed you got the job done. Question # 1 - have you used your normal mortar mix between the steel and the filler bricks or high compression grout ?? Question # 2 - what system will you be using to maintain the present gap between the steel ?? Don't worry about Mr. Tickle Pickle he or she is just taking the piss because he doesn't live in the real world and probably still has his Mummy wiping his backside because it is too dangerous for him to do it himself. Great video, big thumbs up and looking forward to the next one. Cheers. P. S. iPhones should stay in the work bus during work time 100% focus on the job at hand especially ones like this.

Nice one Steve and alex 👍👍 what a job and half, did the bearing of the first steel have to slightly go under the 200mm seating, I noticed it abit later when the padstone had to be moved but what else can you do I suppose.seriously tho loving your videos Steve it shows real life building and the situations that are put up against us to overcome 🙌🏻🙌🏻 nice one 👌👌

WOW!!! What a fight!

We use lifters to get steels in makes a horrible job more barable 😥

A job well done lads .👍

Most of the time you are ; you always somehow land on your feet with a job well done. I’m sure this is no exception !!!

Woah 😳😳👌👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Where is the architect/structural engineer/project manager/building inspector when you need them to decide how the second RSJ sould go in?

Hi Steve Are the steels different. If not why didn't you just push the first one over? Cheers

Cold you not go through the vertical holes on the left with a recip saw with the masonry blade in it????

When will part 3 be available?. Enjoying your vlogs.

What are they planning to do with the bit under the stairs once it finished? Seems like a lot of work to create a dead space that won't be able to have units or a fridge under the low height.

The thought of having to do that now horrifies me . Organ failure is the best thing that's ever happened to me 😂🤣

Piss about that pal my head was fucked at one point 🤣🤣 you did well getting it in good job 👍🏻😁🧱🧱🧱🧱

tough job!

Looks like it was a bit of a back breaker that one guys. Awkward to get a steel up into a position like that!

You get it done :-)

First comment I saw was “clowns “. Bit disappointed when I reached the end of the video to find that the wheels and doors hadn’t fallen off your van and you hadn’t thrown a bucket of confetti over Alex.☹️😉😆

WHEN PUTTING IN AT STEEL WHEY DO YOU NEED TO PUT A PAD STONE IN AS IT IS STILL ON THE EXISTING BLOCK WORK

Can't wait gent's,I'll put subtitles on Corrie 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😷💉💉

how did you put the spacers in between the two steels when you bolted the together ?

What happened to part 3, it just disappeared

Why didn’t you come in with the second steel from the outside...

I bet the designer's drawings were next to useless in revealing the issues you are having. Keep your chin up and relax guys and do your usual professional job. You can't win on all of them, it is the nature of contracting.

Very educational?

Mate proper graft....do you have any drawings to refer to for the steels? ...or is it a design & build job..🏗

Lump hammer ffs

ANOTHER GREAT JOB LADS.... I BET THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS ARE FROM A DAFT JOINER WHO CANT GET ANY BRICKLAYERS TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEM

Steve what's the span of the gap and the beam size?

And it’ll be nice if you could tell that son of yours to get off his phone when you doing such an intricate and dangerous job and concentrate on what he’s doing he’s always seems to be looking at his phone these youngsters of today I cannot understand why they need and to have the head in the phone I’m not concentrating and learning instead fiddling with the phones

Just hire a genee lift much safer boys

WHY DONT YOU JUST CUT THE STEEL DOWN

😴2 days 👀😴😴😴😴

Check out above mate

Why are you wearing hard hats when your balancing a steel on a stack of blocks? Go get a genie lift and do it safely
